HEADLINES - RAW & UNVERIFIED |
The NY Times claims chicken tenders didn't exist until 1974 Fifty years ago, the breaded, fried chicken tender as we know it was invented in Manchester, New Hampshire. If you were born in the United States more than 50 years ago, you can probably remember a world without chicken tenders. If you grew up later, you can’t. Biden to stay out of port strike as trade flows halt, union boss threatens to ‘cripple’ economy Breaking up the strike with his presidential authority could damage Kamala Harris’ chances with a key union worker constituency, but an economic chaos may damage her cause, too. Dock Workers Sound Off As They Hit Picket Lines In Massive Strike They held signs reading, “Corporate greed or worker rights. ILA demands fairness,” “Automation hurts families,” and “ILA workers over machines. Defend our jobs and rights.” Zito: The American farmer hit hard by port strike The strike could cripple the agriculture supply chain, further straining farmers already struggling with rising costs and declining profits. Hurricane Helene 2nd deadliest storm in the past 20 years with 159 killed The only storm with a higher death toll in recent memory was Hurricane Katrina, when at least 1,392 died after the New Orleans levees failed. Joy Behar Tries To Trash Trump, Hits Victims Of Hurricane Helene Instead “I mean, he thinks because he slept with someone named Stormy that he’s a weather expert.” The FCC’s Political Attack On Elon Musk Has Put American Lives In Danger The FCC’s war on Musk may have contributed to Helene’s death toll, which is already at 138 Americans across six states, with many hundreds still missing. California sues Catholic hospital for refusing to abort twins after mother's water broke The states AG Rob Bonta said the hospital's reluctance to immediately kill the 15-week-old twins in the womb was "damning." |

JD Vance hammers Tim Walz on immigration, energy policy, and the economy in lively but civil VP debate "For three years, Kamala Harris went out bragging that she was going to undo Donald Trump's border policies," said Vance. "She did exactly that. We had a record number of illegal crossings. We had a record number of fentanyl coming into our country, and now that she's running for president, she says she's got religion." Vance says that he believes censorship is the greatest threat to democracy during debate "Kamala Harris is engaged in censorship at an industrial scale," Vance said. Walz Refuses To Deny Supporting Abortion Through All Nine Months As governor, Walz signed legislation allowing abortion throughout pregnancy regardless of gestation into law. When the CBS moderators asked him if he believed “abortion in the ninth month is absolutely fine,” however, Walz refused to deny it. Walz Repeats Lie Blaming Pro-Lifers For Woman Killed By Abortion Pills Walz repeated the story of Amber Thurman, a Georgia woman who died alongside her twin babies after suffering the dangerous and fatal side effects associated with the abortion pill responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions. Walz Says He ‘Misspoke’ About Being in Hong Kong During Tiananmen Square Protests Mr. Walz tried to dismiss the blatant lie as insignificant, saying he sometimes gets “caught up in the rhetoric.” Awkward gaffe: Walz says 'I've become friends with school shooters' Trump, who was doing live commentary of the debate on Truth Social shared a digital campaign Trump-Vance 2024 sign that reads, "NOT FRIENDS WITH SCHOOL SHOOTERS." 15 Best Memes About JD Vance Wiping The Floor With Tim Walz In Vice Presidential Debate From JD Vance’s knowing glance at the camera to Tim Walz’s professed friendships "with school shooters," the debate was instant meme fodder. Daily Wire: Reactions To Tim Walz Are In, And They’re ... Not Good "Tim Walz wandered into the wrong bar tonight, folks." CNN: Takeaways from the vice presidential debate between Vance and Walz In a rare display of civility, JD Vance and Tim Walz debated policy differences without personal attacks. Vance criticized Kamala Harris on border security, while Walz hammered Trump on abortion rights and January 6. The Hill: 5 takeaways from the Vance-Walz VP debate A Yale-trained lawyer, Vance was clearly in his element Tuesday night, easily batting away potentially tricky questions and at one point challenging the moderators over their fact-checking of his Springfield remarks. CBS moderators slammed for going against VP debate rules, fact-checking Vance and muting mics Moderators took heat online for their fact-checking of Sen. JD Vance and then muting his microphone despite debate rules against such actions. WaPo: JD Vance’s mic is muted during debate exchange on immigration The Washington Post focuses on CBS muting JD Vance for trying to correct the "fact checkers" and doesn't mention what his correction was. NY Times Opinion: Vance’s Dominant Debate Performance Shows Why He’s Trump’s Running Mate The first half of the vice presidential debate has been the strongest illustration in this campaign so far of why it made sense for Donald Trump to pick JD Vance as his running mate. NY Post: Tim Walz staggered by cool JD Vance, admits ‘I’m a knucklehead’ during genial VP debate Walz, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes, and his eyes darted around the CBS studio. The Hill opinion: Vance wins as Walz whiffs on easy questions And from the very first question it was already evident why JD Vance has done eight times as many interviews this campaign season as Harris and Tim Walz combined. Liberal media pans Tim Walz’s VP debate performance ABC News anchor compares it to Biden’s disastrous showdown against Trump. The Federalist: JD Vance Will Never Be Allowed On Live TV Again After He Dominated That Debate If you didn’t watch the event on CBS, the affair was a set-up from the beginning. One of Trump’s greatest electoral weaknesses is among suburban women. Naturally, CBS cast two women note-card readers to “moderate” the debate for the explicit purpose of daring Vance into a conflict with them. Fact-Check: Vance called Harris a ‘border czar’ during the VP debate. What does that mean? Harris was never asked to be the “border czar,” however, and she was never specifically given the responsibility for security on the border. Harris was also not empowered to set U.S. immigration policy. CNN’s Abby Phillip criticizes Walz for lack of preparation for debate “I think there was a clear lack of preparation and execution here on Walz’s part."

Democrat judge, commissioner candidate allegedly concoct online race hoax to help their campaigns in Texas The pair are now facing calls to step down from their respective political races after they allegedly engaged in a race-based hoax to gin up sympathy for their respective campaigns. |
Biden, Harris gave billions to Iran for peace, but Tehran responded with destabilizing terror Many vulnerable Democrats in Senate and House races have distanced themselves from the Biden-Harris Middle East strategy and record.

Israel vowed to retaliate. Politico: US officials quietly claim to back Israel’s military push against Hezbollah So basically the White House is taking both sides on the issue, in a move that certainly has nothing to do with politics. Israel To Destroy Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Or Oil Facilities: Report “Israel sent clear messages back to Iran that it would respond to any hit on Israeli territory, no matter how small or large, and that it didn’t matter if there were casualties or not,” the WSJ report said. “Israel specifically said it would directly hit Iran’s nuclear or oil facilities.” Democrat Blames Netanyahu for 'Escalating Violence' after Iran Fires Missiles "Netanyahu's invasion of Lebanon is putting millions of people at risk, forcing thousands to be displaced, and inciting a regional war," Ayanna Pressley posted to X.
